Your adventures are the BEST! I maintain the steps were designed to be claimed in a specific sequence.. left sided ones for the left and right sided ones for the right foot. Consider checking my theory out… I maintain your accent will be easier and more natural to use.

Thanks for not showing the graffiti or giving it acknowledgment. It really angers me at the selfish, callous disregard people have for such fascinating sites.

The world is a big place but sadly it's getting much smaller everyday 😮‍💨as long as most people care a little bit, stuff like this will stick around but when we don't care...it can be gone in a night. Respect matters.

Don't sell yourself short, my friend, there's nothing "unprofessional" about what you are doing. Your opinions are welcome and give great insight about the discoveries you are making. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, Raymond!!

Having spent my childhood in and around St. George, petroglyphs and ruins were a normal part of family outings to me. Picnicing, hunting, or gathering firewood as a family I often hiked around and found undiscovered acient sites littered with broken walls, arrowheads, and potsherds. I thought everybody did. We were taught to respect it and enjoy the adventure and "leave it be." My older brother was the real hiker, and sometimes took us specifically to see something extra cool he found. Not just native American stuff and dinosaur tracks, but fossil and mineral deposits as well. He still lives in Hurricane. You might look him up and trade stories. He could certainly suggest locations to point Google Earth toward in your discovery and trek planning. Great video! Brings back so many memories.

I grew up close to you(Cedar City), and I remember swimming in the Virgin River in the late 60s , practically every step you took was on a stone tool of some kind. Relics were literally everywhere. My friend found two intact clay vessels near the historic Veyo pool, which I believe are in a museum now. We'd also find homesteader relics, bottles, square nails, etc.

Horses to get a foothold….They were carefully drug up..

The soot and suspiciously flat ground would make me hypothesize that the area in the back was definitely used for long-term storage of jars full of perishable goods. They used to light fires in sealed-up little rooms to allow the fire to consume all the oxygen in the space, which would eventually also put the fire out. This allowed them to store food for several months longer than it would normally last (some argue that staple food items could have lasted over a year in these environments so long as they never unsealed the entrance afterward). Fun fact: things like vacuum-sealing food bags or smoking sausages also use oxygen deprivation to make food last longer :)

Today is my 2nd hike with you on KZread. I’m watching from Orange County, NY and really love the whole concept of your videos. Actually going to the sites that you’ve discovered via drones, I find creative and unique. New fan!

This one definitely felt more immersive. I see you tried some different camera shots and some cool editing also. The drone footage and chill music at the end was a nice touch with good timing. The flow grabbed my attention. Though it may not have been your coolest discovery to date, this video stands out.

Stunning! What a find! Thanks for the tour!

well, it'd be better to avoid climbing, so archeologists can get there and record the current state. If everyone stomped all over the site, it would destroy and contaminate it. Please notify a local university/Parks and Wildlife. You will still get credit for finding the site, and the researchers will let you know what is okay to touch/walk on! We have so little information about the ancient peoples of this land; please help preserve it for future generations!

2nd video of yours that I've watched, and I've subscribed. You remind me of my adventures around Australia: I spent months checking out various remote locations and trying to cast myself back in time to when the various sites were inhabited, imagining the people who made the rock art. Enjoy your adventures, and thank you for sharing them.

Hey man i really appreciate what you do Because growing up in the 60s my parents were avid Rockhounds i mean every weekend we went someplace different but always in the middle of nowhere. We didn't have Google maps or all that so most of the searches were done by word of mouth or old books. We found old Indian settlements. Old wagon trail ruts. So keep doing what your doing thanks

Thanks bud that was a good vacation on you l loved it you are fascinating 😅

Thanks for sharing this. Wish I could be there in person. Live in Southern New Mexico but have traveled to Utah, Zion. Loved it.

That's amazing! It looks like there are smaller openings (maybe to store something?) to the side of the cave. Did you look at those? I live near Mt. Diablo in California and when I was a kid my Dad used to take us up there to look at the wind caves. This reminds me of how those looked. The adventurer in me wants to go check this place out now!
